Exactly. My “boss” is really only my boss in that he signs my timecard - generally all I have to do is keep him informed of what is going on. I have all necessary authority to do what I have to do.

Just let it go. He is fucking stupid.

*Market share isn’t even relevant to the dumb question he asked to begin with. I swear to god he only thinks like 4 companies exist.

**It’s just fucking wild, man. It’s like Christ get a fucking clue. He doesn’t even understand how competition works. It’s not Microsoft vs Apple. It’s windows vs linux vs android vs iOs. It’s the iPhone vs Samsung, Motorolla, etc… It’s PC vs Mac. It’s iPad vs surface vs the Kindle Fire.

It just blows my mind. Does he think Wal-Mart and Target don’t have a massive online presence? Home Depot and Lowes and Ace Hardware etc… all compete with each other AND Amazon. Etsy, eBay, and every box store competes with Amazon.

Amazon completely disrupted commerce as we knew it. iS aNyBoDy liKe AmAzOn, no fucktard that’s why it grew out of a fucking garage from an online bookstore to a trillion dollar e-commerce platform that others like Alibaba, emulate.

Dude can not be a real person. I’m 100% convinced now.

Which means we’re ahead of them. It’s also hilarious you’re harping on China when they’re gains are almost exclusively in the private sector ie the most capitalist part of their economy. Not to mention they just steal IP from countries that actually innovate while using actual slave labor to reduce production costs. Great country to hold in such higher regard, clown.

This just speaks to how ridiculous of a person this fucknugget is. He asked “Who competes with Amazon for online business?” Literally thousands of businesses from large box stores like Wal-Mart to every e-commerce store created through Shopify. THOUSANDS of businesses.

Instead of accepting he’s just dumb as fuck, he tries to reframe the question “No doofus. Who does business like Amazon dickface?”

That’s an entirely different question, but, again, the answer is A LOT. Lots of businesses do business exactly like Amazon or have adapted practices to do business like Amazon. Most major retailers models their e-commerce business off Amazon.

It’s mind-numbingly stupid.

Yep.

I was hired for my expertise and advice. I give the options and advice within the bounds of the law and the owner picks which route he wants to go.

My time is never tracked or looked at. I just do my job. And they pay me handsomely for it. With the ability to come and go as I please, which was a requisite for me even taking the job with my other businesses to manage.

Had a meeting this morning with one of these awful beings known as a boss where we checks notes discussed how to tackle problems arising out of corporate restructuring, what my thoughts are on how to integrate changes in my area of responsibility, how I can expand my role within the company, and how we can work together on any issues that come up.

Just awful.

Peel back the layers of onion if you know how to.

No I don’t teach science and math but donate my time at a food bank and volunteer at an animal shelter. Not to mention I cut the grass for the old neighbor next door and take her grocery shopping once a week.

If you see that something is wrong, you have basically 2 choices. Do something or nothing. While I may not be moving the Earth I am doing something rather than nothing. Instead of just accepting things as they are and feeling helpless to change things, in so far as much as I believe they need changing, I join movements, keep informed, educate myself and make donations(money and time)

So the saying that most people hate their boss is just an old wives tale?

What a fucking jerkoff!

Capitalism equals freedom.

Yes, they are in bed together.

As usual you have no idea what you are talking about and only can see things thru the lens of profit.

Like be somewhere 9-5 Mon. thru Friday and sometimes Saturdays. Wow, what freedom. I’m truly envious.

It’s just fucking wild man, you name a few companies as your defense to this industry is not an oligopoly. Bwahahahaha…

Don’t hold them in high regard, clown. Just observing they have a much higher GDP growth than our country is just that, an observation. And if this holds steady it will only be a matter of time.

It’s funny how the U.S. is lagging behind in growth while being the most capitalist country in the world. H/mmmmm…

Seems like an oligopoly to me.

Dipshit thinks because other companies have an online presence and sell shit online they are competing with Amazon. Gawd, what an idiot!

Dickface thinks because other businesses sell shit online that they are competing with Amazon and thus there is no oligopoly here. Maybe you have a point. With Amazon estimated to make every other sale online it may fit the definition of monopoly.

If someone else or say for instance China did it, would it be okay then?

And you forgot. How to fire employees so you can give more profits to the shareholders.

Without profit, you wouldn’t have a “job”.

Please tell me more about profit as you own, provide, and create nothing.

You are literally a leach on the system you despise.
